             41          (b) will cause unneeded expense and inconvenience to the people of this state; and

             48      States Department of Homeland Security to secure the implementation of the REAL ID Act.
             49          (4) This section does not preclude the division from complying with provisions of the
             50      REAL ID Act that are already:
             51          (a) adopted by administrative rule; or
             52          (b) authorized under this code.
